- Patients in the intervention had a lower rate of returning to the hospital within 30 days of discharge from the SNF, were more likely to attend medical appointments, and were better prepared for their care transition.

The Re-Engineered Discharge (RED) Toolkit, funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, can help hospitals reduce readmission rates by replicating the discharge process that resulted in 30 percent fewer hospital readmissions and emergency room visits.
A variety of forces are pushing hospitals to improve their discharge processes to reduce readmissions. 1. Researchers at the Boston University Medical Center (BUMC) developed and tested a set of activities and materials for improving the discharge process, which they called the Re-Engineered Discharge (RED).
